So last year for Christmas i made eddy a pacman quilt. Not just any quilt, a crocheted handmade, took 500 hours and a million mini granny squares kind of quilt. Here i was last year the day before Christmas sewing frantically in my bedroom trying to make sure it was all done. Rest assured i slept so well that night. It was also really hard to hide such a big task from someone you see everyday and to keep it secret! There were many a times i just wanted to give in and be like, "babe, i am making you the best quilt ever!!" but i didn't and he was so surprised! I think it was the happiest i seen him ever and he used it most of the winter. The quilt only acquired a few little holes here and there that i had to sew up which was good! I got a lot of great reviews from craftser users and got featured on a few websites! Now the only question i have is how can i top last year, and the answer is without killing myself i don't think i can!

Now there’s something you should know about me, I am in love with owls! I also go to Rowan University and their mascot is the owl, which drives my obsession even more. It is always exciting that I can exude school spirit by rocking one of my favorite animals. The only way it could get better is if Rowan changed their mascot to a giraffe, which I don’t think I could handle. I would be way to full of excitement! Here are some cute owl items that I am lusting after!

I want to snuggle with this pillow every night! Via

First let me tell you about a week and a half ago i was guessing what kind fo ice cream Bridget over at
Bake at 350 was making. I started with mint chocolate chip, that wasn't it. Then she started dropping hints saying there were 4 main ingredient in it and it was from Ben and Jerry. Eventually she gave us the four main ingredients and i knew right away what she was making, Dastardly Mash, which happens to be in the Ben and Jerry's grave yard. I couldn't believe it, i actually won something, i never win anything! Yesterday i got my giftcard in the mail with the cutest card i have ever seen!

Just look at how cute this is, i would have just been happy with this thank you card, seriously! Its the little things people!

and her business card is so cute too! Thank you so much Bridget! I can't wait to go get an iced chai tea latte, an iced coffee, or maybe a frappachino :)
Sorry for the horrible quality pictures, they were taken with the webcam on my computer. I was to excited to take actual picture!

for a whille now i have really been into cameras & the diffferent kinds of pictures they can take. I recently bought this one

that i have a roll of film in now, when i develop it i will share the results, if they are good! I turned my lomo into a 35 mm from a 120mm and took a whole roll of pictures with that, but none of them came out, well like 5 pictures came out. Not enough to really share, the next time they will come out and i will be able to share!
Here is a bunch of cameras that i am in love with, i just can't get enough!

This gorgeous all white holga is a dream & although i already have a all black one, i still think i need another!

I love the color of both of these holgas, so adorable!

This Diana dreamer is gorgeous

this is my dream camera! I found it on ebay a few days ago but it was selling for 85+, i can not justify that kind of a purchase :/

This gorgeous underwater number

I lust after this fisheye, I've almost bought it twice. It will be my next purchase i think!
[source] and this gorgeous action sampler. I want all of these cameras so bad and maybe one day i will own them all, but i don't think anyone needs that many cameras. On second thought, what was i thinking? I do need to own all of these!

Sunday Eddy and I decided we needed an adventure. We decided to venture out to springlake, new jersey to hang out with my mom & step-dad. We really had a lovely time. We went bike riding, swimming, geocaching, and my mom bought us all ice cream! It was s relaxing!

thats my head and eddy riding a bike, hes so adorable!

we stopped by the lake to have a little photo shoot, it was cute!

later after we had our ice cream we went and saw the older men racing boats. It was honestly the best part of my day. It was so exciting! You could see the them all on the other side just so excited to be out and about racing their cars with the next man. I wanted to savor that moment forever.
Also, here is a sneak peek of what i have been spending a lot of my time working on

A while ago i got this camera at a flea market.

well the leather started falling off of it and it looked like it was real dirty underneath. I took alcohol to the dirty parts after ripping most of the leather off. The alcohol took off most of the dirt, dried glue and grime then i dried it with a clean towel. I used the leather parts that were on there to create a template and then i just cut & glued. Now i have a cute unique camera that looks like it belongs to me




I'm proud of the way it came out. I really do love the look of it. If this paper ever comes off i will probably just recover (or paint it) in a new way. I love that this isn't to permanent but permanent enough that if i want it to stay this way it most likely will!
Have any of you guys revamped an old camera, i would love to see pictures!
I hope everyone is having a happy Monday. I have to go to work in about 2 hours, but i don't really mind seeing as i haven't been there in almost a week!
xoxo
